Sodium metal reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=goX8_s7XM-Q

A small piece of sodium metal reacts with 18 M sulfuric acid. The reaction produces hydrogen gas and enough heat to ignite the gas. This causes an explosion of the now molten sodium metal, which then adheres to the side of the beaker. I attempt to continue the reaction at the end of the video. It may have been an unwise choice. Please do not try this at home.","styleRuns":[{"startIndex":0,"length":361,"styleRunExtensions":{"styleRunColorMapExtension":{"colorMap":[{"key":"USER_INTERFACE_THEME_DARK","value":4294967295},{"key":"USER_INTERFACE_THEME_LIGHT","value":4279440147}]}},"fontFamilyName":"Roboto"}]},"headerRuns":[{"startIndex":0,"length":361,"headerMapping":"ATTRIBUTED_STRING_HEADER_MAPPING_UNSPECIFIED"}]}},{"itemSectionRenderer":{"contents":[{"commentsEntryPointHeaderRenderer":{"headerText":{"runs":[{"text":"Comments"}]},"onTap":{"clickTrackingParams":"CNwBEMaJBRgAIhMIzt_lwouiiQMV-G56BR0wUwri","commandExecutorCommand":{"commands":[{"clickTrackingParams":"CNwBEMaJBRgAIhMIzt_lwouiiQMV-G56BR0wUwri","changeEngagementPanelVisibilityAction":{"targetId":"engagement-panel-comments-section","visibility":"ENGAGEMENT_PANEL_VISIBILITY_EXPANDED"}},{"clickTrackingParams":"CNwBEMaJBRgAIhMIzt_lwouiiQMV-G56BR0wUwri","scrollToEngagementPanelCommand":{"targetId":"engagement-panel-comments-section"}}]}},"trackingParams":"CNwBEMaJBRgAIhMIzt_lwouiiQMV-G56BR0wUwri","commentCount":{"simpleText":"25"},"contentRenderer":{"commentsSimpleboxRenderer":{"simpleboxAvatar":{"thumbnails":[{"url":"","width":88,"height":88}],"accessibility":{"accessibilityData":{"label":""}}},"simpleboxPlaceholder":{"runs":[{"text":"Add
